There are diesel truck owners that collect used cooking oil from restaurants and make bio-diesel. The by product is glycerine, and from that they make brown soap. There is a tremendous amount of that looking for a home.

It really does depend on your maintenance schedule. If you wax the hull, then you do not want to use any dish-wash detergent, especially Dawn or simple green. Dawn is a recommended stripping agent for most waxes. I think for value it would be hard to beat car wash soap, but it is not really designed for same dirt. Also if you buy the larger containers of soap you will likely get much better prices.

I did have this on hand and it helped. Not like a power washer but the soap dispenser worked great. I played with the nozzle settings and it was a bit better than a standard hose nozzle. It might also be nice for my anchor washdown which I will install in a month or so.Amazon.com: EZ Jet Water Cannon: Patio, Lawn & Garden
